A reporter who has visited plants【S3】______Europe has an impression that the pace of work is much slower here. Nobody tries too hard. Tea breaks do matter and are frequent. It is hard to【S4】______intensity of work, but Britons give a distinct impression of going at their tasks in a more leisurely way.

Street crowds in Stockholm. Paris and New York move【S7】______and silently heads down, all in a hurry. London crowds tend to walk at an easy pace( except in the profitable, efficient city, the financial district).
Every stranger is struck by the【S8】______and orderly way in which Britons queue for a bus: if the saleswoman is slow and out of stock she will likely say, "Oh dear, what a pity"; the rubbish collectors stop to chat(聊天)and call the housewives "Luv". Crime rises here as in every city but there still【S9】______a gentle tone and temper that is unmatched in Berlin, Milan or Detroit.
In short, what is wrong with Britain may also be what is right. Having reached a tolerable standard, Britons【S10】______to be choosing leisure over goods.
